Mitt Romney's presidential campaign is making TV reservations in Michigan, starting with the Detroit market, a media-buying source tells me.

Romney's super PAC, Restore Our Future, has already purchased a half-million dollars in airtime over the next week, but Romney's campaign was quiet until this morning. The full size of the flight is yet to be determined.

When it's complete, both the Romney and the Santorum campaigns and the Romney super PAC will all be up in the Wolverine State, with Santorum's super PAC, the Red White & Blue Fund, as an X factor. Santorum's campaign had put only about $50,000 into Fox News time as of last night.

UPDATE: And here, via the Detroit Free Press, is Romney's ad, showing the candidate driving in his native state reminiscing about going to the Detroit Auto Show with his car exec-turned-governor father:
